Army Mules

While I personally feel that the true Army Mules are the logistics branch (Who make everything the grunts do possible), the US Army infantry carries the largest burden in kinetic operations while on deployment. The Marines get all the attention and, arguably, the hardest work, but the Army does the most of it. When America wants light shock troops focused on quickly subduing an enemy through sheer hoorah and infantry training, they call the Marines. When they want the most versatile and resilient troops, they call the Army. Though overall slower to react when called up (Besides the Rangers and 82nd Airborne), the Army can bring the fight.

These guys were my first attempt at painting multi-cam and as such I was not super happy with them. However, I was not unhappy enough to repaint. Rest assured that my next Army squad will be much closer quality-wise to my Brits.
